They not going to go through Apple if they planted CP on your device…
That’s not how it works.
If a device has CSAM on it and it reaches a particular threshold, Apple gets notified and reviews it before any other entity gets involved, like NCMEC or law enforcement.
It's also extremely difficult for someone to break into an iPhone and plant CSAM on it without the user knowing.
Yes, a determined state-sponsored attacker could possibly do it but that means you got an entirely different set of problems anyway.
The point is that it's highly unlikely that a disgruntled employee or mentally disturbed roommate could pull this off, which is what 99.999% of us have to worry about.
